Re: Keepsake 3DFrom: DuBose, Terry (DuboseTerryJ@uams.edu)Fri May 14 14:15:31 2004
Art, will an uneducated, unskilled, & unwashed person who doesn't have a clue as to the difference between a uterine synechia vs. an amniotic band, and won't care because it isn't a "medical" exam, be held to the same standard as a registered sonographer or MD? This, I fear is the fallacy in the legal solution to this problem. Given enough time the "unwashed" will develop the psychomotor skills to acquire pretty pictures of faces, but won't have a clue about VSDs, etc. and won't care. In time the public will come to view these folks as the real face of sonography because that is the "fun" part; and the real sonographers will become the gnomes in the bowels of the hospital, giving out the bad news. We will be held to a higher standard because of our experience, while the uneducated will be able to throw up their hands and exclaim "gastroschisis, what is that? Who knew?" Unless the FDA actually enforces their own regulations on non-medical uses, then the legal system will not treat all by the same standards. The FDA needs to either enforce their own regs or release us all to compete in the "free market", and then we can beat the unwashed at their own game. I include registered sonographers in this issue of the "free market". "Just my opinion, I could be wrong." Terry J.

The American Medical Association is no longer designating CME hours for AMA Category II CME credit. However, physicians themselves may self designate learning activities as Category II CME credit hours if they feel it is of sufficient educational merit and meets the formal definitions of continuing medical education. OBGYN.net believes these interaction in this forum meets these criteria. For further information see the AMA web site.
